New features - ETO books and WWII Field Manuals
#1

Funny how one thing leads to another...

 

As you know, I was inspired to create a new section of photos called "Other units" to our Photo Gallery, earlier this week. It's such a good feeling to finally begin that long, overdue project. And that inspiration was set-off from an email from a new member.

 

Well the train is still rolling...

 

Yesterday I was chatting with Larry and Caryl in a post related to Danforth Anchors. While looking up a certain pamphlet online, it took me to a site called paperlessarchives.com, and that led me to ordering a couple of disks which contain dozens upon dozens of WWII training and field manuals. Can't wait to get those and to share them with all of you.

 

But, it doesn't end there. I then began rummaging through all the CD/DVD's I've gathered over the years and lo and behold, I re-discovered a three-disk set which was gathering dust in my office. I placed it on my desk and went, "Oh man, I forgot all about these", and began perusing each disk to see what they held.

 

And THAT'S the real surprise for many of you today, for I uploaded everything on that set, and they're now available to you, my readers.

 

So if you get a chance, check out the new section on our main site, entitled Documents, and the new (first of many) page within that section.
